Engaging Events’ Judy Johnston paired coral-colored garden and spray roses with white anemones and cream-hued godetia and peonies for Jennifer’s bouquet.

“We had some time before the reception to take a stroll on the beach and just take a moment together,” says Jennifer.

Arnold Palmer cocktails made with pink lemonade and Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka picked up the coral hues throughout the reception.

Each table featured centerpieces filled with sea glass, seeded eucalyptus, garden roses, godetia, pincushion protea, and waxflower surrounded by pillar candles and more sea glass, the latter echoing the shade of the aqua napkins.
